Chapter 157: In the face of disaster, fly separately
"That's naturally very good, but it's just that, will it delay sister's business?"
Qiao Yun grabbed the hand that was making trouble on his nose with both hands, pretending to be virtuous.
"Hehe... No, Yun'er is my biggest business."
Now that it's November, Qiao Yun will go to the academy for at most one month before going back to the house to get married. No matter how busy Nanjun is, it's not too late.
Nan Jun's words finally made Qiao Yun laugh. Ever since his mother was arrested yesterday, he couldn't laugh anymore, but when he was with Nan Jun, no matter what he did, he felt happy.
When Nan Jun sent Qiao Yun to Qiao's residence, he happened to meet the red-eyed housekeeper.
Seeing the regent's daughter personally sending his son back to the mansion, the housekeeper almost cried out.
The carriage woman who was sent to pick up the young master passed out on the road, but Qiao Yun's classmates recognized that it was the carriage of Qiao's family, and she didn't know until she kindly sent a servant to deliver the letter.
Because of the precedent of Qiao Yun's accident last time, the housekeeper was worried.
But after the master was taken away, the master locked himself in the room every day to avoid seeing guests, the young lady was also drunk and passed out, and there was no one in the house who could be the master.
If something happened to Qiao Yun again, the housekeeper might have to apologize with death.
It's just that it was unexpected that after the accident in the Qiao family, everyone avoided it, but the regent's daughter was kind and righteous.
The housekeeper saluted Nanjun with red eyes, this time it was her surrender from the heart, not because of her status.
I wanted to send Qiao Yun off and leave directly, but I was worried that there would be evil slaves in the mansion who would bully the master, so Nan Jun accompanied Qiao Yun into Qiao's mansion.
The Qiao Mansion at this time was completely different from Nan Jun's last visit, it was indescribably bleak and desolate.
"Why didn't the servants in this mansion clean up the corridor?"
Nan Jun frowned in displeasure. Could it be that the Qiao family has no master, so these servants are lazy?
The steward sighed slightly, shook his head and said, "Returning to Your Highness, the owner of the house was taken away yesterday, and all the servants in the mansion were frightened, afraid of being implicated. It is better for those families to have children, but the long-term workers who can be hired Even if the laborers gave up this month's monthly silver, they dare not stay in Qiao's residence any longer."
After all, if something really happened to Qiao Qingquan, it would most likely be the tragedy of exterminating the family.
Everyone in the mansion was afraid, and those servants who did not sign the deed of sale in Qiao's mansion, they left quickly to avoid being implicated.
Nan Jun held Qiao Yun's hand tightly, a hint of sarcasm curled up at the corner of his mouth.
"It's really a disaster, let's fly separately!"
Everyone is good at calculating, but no one remembers that when Qiao Qingquan was the prime minister, she supported the whole family with her salary alone.
"Your Highness, this old slave has been with the Patriarch for more than twenty years, and he dares to guarantee with his head that my Master will not do such evil things. Please Your Highness speak for my Master in front of the Holy One!"
The housekeeper suddenly knelt down in front of Nan Jun, startling Qiao Yun who was thinking about something.
Qiao Yun's hand held by Nan Jun froze, fearing that Nan Jun would annoy the housekeeper, he turned and left.
Qiao Yun is not stupid, even though he knew that Nan Jun doted on him, he didn't cry and beg her to save his mother, but he was afraid that things would turn against each other, which annoyed Nan Jun.
But the butler did what Qiao Yun wanted to do but didn't do in front of Qiao Yun, but it was just relying on Nan Jun's love for him.
Unexpectedly, Nan Jun waved his hand at the housekeeper, signaling her to get up.
"Right and wrong are right and wrong. You can decide for yourself. Your loyalty is the main thing. If you want to manage Qiao's family in this period of time, Qiao Xiang can feel more at ease."
"This is what old slaves should do."
Nan Jun suddenly felt lucky for Qiao Yun, fortunately, there is still this loyal old housekeeper in Qiao's house, otherwise it would be worse for Qiao's family!
"Go and order dinner, call your lord and young lady over to have dinner together, and say that it is the meaning of the hall."
Nan Jun didn't intend to stay for dinner, but for the sake of Qiao Yun and for the servants of the Qiao family to serve the masters well for her sake, she had to stay and show them, which is considered My apologies to Qiao Qingquan!
Whether it was to save Qiao Qingquan's life or not, the person behind the scenes was her Nanjun.
Some joy finally flashed across Qiao Yun's haggard little face, which also made Nan Jun feel at ease.
Nan Jun knocked Qiao Xu a few words during the banquet, and Qiao Xu blushed and promised not to touch a drop of wine again.
And Li Shi also felt a lot better because of Nan Jun's closeness to Qiao Yun.
They are all thousand-year-old foxes, and none of them are stupid.
Nanjun dotes on Qiao Yun, so he definitely won't let Qiao Qingquan go.
Even if no evidence was found to prove Qiao Qingquan's innocence in the end, Qiao Qingquan's life could be saved with a single sentence from the Nan family.
Nan Jun's arrival seemed to reassure everyone in the Qiao family. Qiao Xu no longer gave up on himself. Instead, he practiced martial arts and swords in the yard every day, and read and practiced calligraphy in the study to cultivate his temperament.
Mrs. Li didn't wash her face with tears every day. Apart from taking care of the affairs of the house, she went to burn incense and copy scriptures in front of the Buddha every day, hoping that the wife-lord would return soon.
Nan Jun also did what she said, personally picking up Qiao Yun to go to the academy every day. Those who were waiting to see Qiao Yun's jokes not only didn't see the jokes, but also ate a mouthful of dog food for nothing.
One day after school, Qiao Yun was stopped by a classmate, saying that he wanted Qiao Yun to help him take a look at his paintings. After all, Qiao Yun's painting skills are the best in this academy, and even the master is never stingy with him. his compliments.
Although Qiao Yun was looking forward to seeing Nan Min sooner, but he couldn't take the other people's attention away, so he had to stay and advise that classmate.
Nan Jun at the gate of the academy was leaning on the soft couch waiting for Qiao Yun to come out, and made a cup of tea along the way.
"Is the son out?"
According to the usual time, Qiao Yun had already come out this time, and Nan Jun couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"When I returned to the master, I didn't see the son's figure."
Nan Jun put down the teacup in his hand, picked up the snow-white cloak beside him and jumped off the carriage.
"My hall, go and have a look. If you see the young master, let him wait in the car."
Looking at the weather, it's getting colder and colder, and I'm afraid it's going to snow.
"Yes."
Before Nan Jun took two steps, he was blocked by a young man in purple clothes.
"Cheng'er has seen Her Royal Highness."
Zuo Cheng deliberately held Qiao Yun back, just to be able to talk to Nan Jun alone.
It's just a pity that Nan Jun doesn't remember seeing this young man in front of him at all.
Nan Jun turned to avoid Zuo Cheng, and was not ready to talk to him, but Zuo Cheng stopped her with his voice.
"Your Royal Highness is looking for Young Master Qiao?"
Nan Jun paused, raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't know why this son knows why Yun'er hasn't come out yet?"
Speaking of which, women are not allowed to enter at will in this men's academy, even if Nan Jun has a noble status, if he wants to enter, he must obtain the approval of the headmaster.
